Quarter 4, Week 5

Testing starts this week for us on Wednesday......

On Monday, we walked to the museum to kick off our new project. The kiddos are studying Native American Tribes and will be creating their very own museum display. Thank you to my Mrs. Kelsey and Mrs. Miller for walking over and back with us! Also, thank you for sharing pictures with me:)

To sum up our week:  We have two tests this week. The ELA ACT is tomorrow(Wed) and the Math/Science ACT is on Thursday. Please make sure that your kiddos have their own headphones. Also, thank you to those of you who have signed up for the snacks:)

In between testing: We will be practicing for SBAC and starting our new project. This is a BIG project and we only have a short amount of time in between testing to get it done.

Reminder: Don't forget our presentations this Thursday from 2:15-3:15 in our classroom. Students will be sharing their Wonder presentations and their very own owner's manuals. We hope to see you all there!
